Hey guys! Wanting to mount a battery to my new flatbed for the winch. Trailer is a tilt bed and I would like to mount it inside the frame, under the bed. That will give me access to it when trailer is tilted but out of the way otherwise. I am looking at the Southwest Speed #499-903 bolt on box, and the Torklift HiddenPower mount.

Torklift HiddenPower is a nice setup, and comes with the plastic box, but is made as vehicle specific so I'm trying to get in contact with them to see if any of their models will fit a 2x5" frame rail.
Also, can I splice into the 12+ wire charging the break-away battery through the trailer plug and extend it to charge the winch battery as well?

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
